Upcoming Programs:
Join us this fall at Benevolence Orchard in Boulder⭣
Our Chickadees Program is designed for our youngest children, ages 0 to 18 months, and their caregivers. This class offers a gentle introduction to rhythm, exploration of the natural world, and heartfelt community. Here we create a soft and supportive space for our babies and for the adults who care for them.
Our Fall 2026 Chickadees program will meet for twelve consecutive Tuesdays from September 1 through November 17, tentatively from 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m at the beautiful Benevolence Orchard in Boulder, CO.
Because nap schedules can vary so widely for children ages 0–18 months, we are open to adjusting the class time based on the needs of our enrolled families. Please feel free to share your preferred timing when you reach out or register.
With enough interest, we would love to expand our Chickadees program by offering an additional day or time for our youngest Wildhood participants so please let us know your needs.
In this early season of life, so much is unfolding beneath the surface. Our Chickadees class honors the pace of infancy and early toddlerhood, offering a calm and nurturing environment where babies can observe, explore, and begin to experience the world alongside their caregivers.
Each session is intentionally capped at 14 children maximum to preserve a sense of intimacy and connection among families.
Our sessions are guided by Wildhood’s founder and lead teacher, Kayla Hash. With a warm and playful presence, she creates an environment where both babies and caregivers feel welcomed, supported, and at ease.
Our time together follows a simple and consistent flow, rooted in seasonal rhythms and gentle sensory experiences rooted in nature.
Gatherings typically include:
– Circle time with simple songs, story, and movement
– Rhymes and connection games between caregiver and child
– Sensory-rich, open-ended exploration of our natural surroundings
– Time connecting with the land
– Spacious opportunity for connection and play
At this stage, babies are developing a sense of safety, trust, and belonging. The Chickadees class centers the caregiver-child bond, offering opportunities for closeness, attunement, and shared experience in a peaceful and welcoming environment.
Caregivers remain an active and essential part of the experience throughout. In the spirit of our family-first approach, siblings are always welcome. We believe in supporting families being together and embracing the presence of each child.
We welcome our families in the Chickadees Program into the broader Wildhood School community, gathering throughout the year for seasonal celebrations and shared outings.
Our Sparrows Program is designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years and their caregivers. This class builds upon the foundation of our Chickadees program, offering a rhythm that supports both growing autonomy and continued connection for young children stepping into early independence. For those beginning to reach, explore, and engage more fully with the world around them.
Our Sparrow’s Fall 2026 Program will meet on Wednesdays for 12 consecutive weeks starting September 2nd and closing on November 18th. Our classes will run from 9:30am-11:00am at the beautiful Benevolence Orchard in Boulder, CO.

Here we give them an expansive environment and inspiring structure to engage in.
